Phrygisian Bounty Hunter Rundas looked out the window of his starship as he descended to the planet Aether. He had long limbs that end in three claws. His head was an oval shape and two small dots resembling eyes could be seen. He had a small torso with his long legs ending in flat feet.
Sighing, Rundas reflected on his past with the so-called "outlaw" of the Galactic Federation, Samus Aran. He and Samus had been comrades during the final years of the Phazon war, but fearing crippling injuries, he had entered the battle of Norion by temporarily transferring his mind into an artificial body cloned from his own.
His prediction had been eerily accurate, as a shadowy Doppelganger of Samus had attacked them and the other two hunters, Tech savvy hunter, Ghor, and the Shape-shifter, Gandrayda. After the battle, all four hunters had been fitted with Phazon enhancement devices, and sent to the different planets in federation space. Rundas himself had been sent to the Multiclimate planet of Bryyo. There he had been corrupted by his phazon enhancements and attacked Samus.

With the death of Dark Samus and Phaaze's destruction, Rundas's mind was released from captivity within her, and promptly returned to his original body. For many years, Rundas had been in hiding on the Icy planet Arcterra, in the Tetra Galaxy. Upon hearing of Samus's newly acquired Outlaw status, he had decided to investigate, and tracked her ship to the Dasha Planet of Aether, unaware another bounty hunter, Falco Lombardi, was doing the same. Finishing his contemplation, Rundas opened his ship's hatch and leaped out, Ice-surfing his way towards Samus's signal...
